4 people died after bandits attacked Nosuruai/Nantarangweti area of Samburu West Sub-County on Friday. According to locals, a group of about 60 armed bandits struck at around 4 pm on Friday, killing two herders on the spot and managing to take the entire herd of cattle that the herders were tending. The herders, however, managed to regroup and give chase. They killed two of the raiders and recovered 200 head of cattle even as the bandits made away with 150 cattle. Police have yet to retrieve the bodies of the two raiders as they are in the interior where vehicles cannot access. Local leaders, led by Governor Lati Lelelit visited with the herders this morning.
